The JAYDERISM THE NFT II auction held at the SHINWA DIGITAL ART GALLERY closing party achieved the highest bid of 10 million yen.

Closing party (February 26th) to conclude the digital art exhibition “SHINWA DIGITAL ART GALLERY” held by Shinwa ARTEX Co., Ltd. An auction entitled JAYDERISM THE NFT II was held, and all 5 lots were put up for sale.

All lots were sold in this auction, and the work “Lost on the Open Sea” set a successful bid record of 10 million yen. This amount broke Jayder’s auction record.

The venue was crowded with a large audience and was filled with enthusiasm. With the spread of blockchain technology and the evolution of expression in the digital world, the NFT art scene will become even more exciting in the future. It was an event that made us feel the future.

What is the artist "The Jayder"?

Born in Los Angeles, California. His real name is Jesse Franklin a.k.a. The Jayder. He is currently based in Japan.

He studied painting and sculpture and studied digital media at the Otis College of Art and Design. He has a technical and unique art style that combines nature and future technology, combining cubism and flowing lines, which style is called “Jayderism”.

He is familiar with 3D art, providing animation and art techniques, and has a background in music videos such as Gnarles Barkley’s “Crazy” in 2006 and Justin Timberlake’s “Lovestoned” in 2008.

After his arrival in Japan, he has contributed to the three-season color collection of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and the lighting and rendering of “Sonic the Movie” in 2019.

Jader's body painting work announced at the auction site

His digital art work focuses on body painting, which has a limited viewing time, where art is lost forever when washed away. He respects femininity as an art and paints a woman’s body as a canvas that expresses beauty and fascination. The colors on her body are said to express her feelings for the future and Jesse’s passion for science fiction.

The unlit woman’s body acts as a canvas, and the neon-lit lines reflected by the UV light weave the art. Jesse creates a unique NFT collection with a deep love for “Jayderism” and the mysterious Metaverse.
